Where to find my first accounting job in Philly? -

I am about to get my accounting certificate (18 units and I am planning on getting six more unit for my CPA), plus I have a BA in Economics. Plus my GPA is 3.85. What would be a good first time job (company and position) for me. Any website just for accounting jobs that anyone knows? Thank you,Philly Guy

Probably hard to do without knowing someone or going through on-campus recruiting, but try getting a job with one of the Big 4 accounting firms. PricewaterhouseCoopers is the largest in the city followed by KPMG. Some of the other large firms in the area are McGladrey, Kreischer Miller, and SMART. Good luck!

Take a look at Univ of Penn. They are always looking for financial types...or so it seems. Its not a bad place to work - especially in a recession.
